François-Xavier Villemin started playing the piano at the age of 5. He worked with Christophe Egiziano at the conservatoire of Chambéry until 2001. He then studied Music and Mathematics in parallel in Paris, where he joined the class of Billy Eidi from 2003 to 2009. While pursuing a professional career in finance, he remains an active pianist and regularly gives piano recitals and chamber music concerts in London and Paris.
